Also on Day 1, Russian Dmitry Tursunov whipped Spaniard Albert Montanes 6-4,
6-1 and Spain's Marcel Granollers was leading Janko Tipsarevic 2-1 when the
former top-10 Serb retired. Granollers captured this event in 2011 and was the
runner-up in 2010. Montanes was a Valencia finalist back in 2004.

The top seeds here are last week's Stockholm runner-up David Ferrer and last
week's Vienna titlist Tommy Haas. Ferrer is the reigning Valencia champ, also
titled here in 2010, and was the runner-up in 2005.

On Tuesday, third-seeded Spaniard Nicolas Almagro will open his week against
fellow countryman Pablo Andujar. Almagro titled here back-to-back in 2006 and
2007 and was the runner-up in 2008.
